In
the present scenario, when the means for day-to-day official
communication for every professional in corporate as well as
non-corporate offices is email communication, the need for a robust
and reliable email client is increasing day by day.

Although
the market is flooded with a number of email clients, Microsoft
Outlook is considered as one of the most reliable and efficient email
clients used world wide. Though MS Outlook is one of the most
pioneering email clients with many advantages, there are some loop
holes as well.

One
drawback of MS Outlook is its limited PST file size capacity. You
must be aware of the fact that a PST file is an integral part of MS
Outlook. Any damage to the PST file directly leads to data loss. This
simply means that PST recovery is very crucial.

Let
us understand the PST file size error problem in MS Outlook.

Initially, in MS Outlook 2002, the maximum size for a
single PST file was 2GB. This simply means that in MS Outlook 2002,
whenever the PST file size crossed the 2 GB limit, the file used to
be damaged. Therefore, in order to overcome such issues, in the MS
Outlook 2007 and later versions, the PST file size limit was revised
to 20 GB and more respectively.

Whenever
the data in a PST file exceeds the set limit, the PST file becomes
corrupt. Fixing this kind of PST corruption is not very difficult.
Microsoft provides free inbuilt PST recovery tool i.e. the
Scanpst.exe. This built-in tool helps you to recover email properties
from the corrupt PST file. The Scanpst.exe is installed at the time
of Microsoft Outlook installation process. Although the Scanpst.exe
is not visible in the Start menu, it can be easily found on your
computer using the search option.

Although
being an efficient tool, the Scanpst.exe does not promise you to
recover the entire data.

In
this scenario, you can use a professional third party tool to recover
your lost crucial data. The quick algorithm of the third party
recovery software perform complete scan of the PST file to locate and
revive the lost emails. As all the lost recovered emails and other
items are listed in a tree like structure, you can preview them.

Due
to its advance scan process, the third party tools are fast, simple
and easy to use PST repair tools.
